Briar Heart is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used to make potions at an Alchemy Lab as part of Alchemy.

LocationsEdit

• They can be looted or pickpocketed from Forsworn Briarhearts. If their Briar Heart is pickpocketed, they will immediately die and a hole will appear in their chest because the Briar Heart is what is used to substitute for a Human Heart in the ritual in which they are created.
• One can be found inside Fellglow Keep (inside the first door on the left).
• Two can be found in Japhet's Folly Towers (Rise in the East) on the lower floor (on a wooden plate across from the door, past the room full of food).

TriviaEdit

• Briar hearts are given to the Forsworn Briarhearts by the Hags (Hagravens), which makes them immensely stronger, although this makes them lose their own heart to the Hags.
• A briar heart is needed to repair the White Phial in the quest Repairing the Phial. For this reason, while the player has the quest active, any briar hearts they collect will be counted as quest items and cannot be discarded, used to make potions, eaten or sold until the quest is completed.

BugsEdit

• Sometimes, even after the completion of the quest Repairing the Phial, Briar Hearts will remain marked as quest essential, making removal from the inventory in any way impossible. This was fixed in Skyrim patch 1.4
• After pickpocketing the Briar Hearts, sometimes the Forsworn Briar Heart can send hired thugs after you.
• There's a rare bug where after you get sent to jail with a briar heart in your inventory,after being released there will be hundreds of hearts in your inventory which could probably put you over your carrying limit
